Couldn't shake a cummins turbo diesel

[Bluesn95]

Uh....yeah... about an hour ago I had a BIG 3/4 cumminss all over my ass. we ran several time from 60 to 120 where i finally started to pull from him. We ran about 5 times. I was kinda embarassed but I think I would have killed him from a dig. He must have had major booost. I did have 2 passengers and the windows down but that still doesnt make me feel any better. I need more power. Will just a pi swap do It or should I do a forged ported 2 valve. I cant stand to have a 9000 lb truck hang with me.

Gotta get that stock NPI stuff outta there, that's number one...

 

[Passenger]

Hell, theres a 6.0L Powerstroke I can never get away from. Every time I end up rolling my windows up because he is covering me in black soot. Its badass 8)

 

[Late4Work]

If u wanna stay naturally aspirated id go with a full PI swap, H/C/I, and a nice exhaust.......those mods will give u a lil more omph

 

[rick focks]

if you can get up to DFW this w/e and pull it, you can have my pi motor outta my '02 for almost nothing...

Stock L's don't pull me too bad. 4-HI in a Powerstroke however, scares the fuck out of me.

 

[DropTopPony]

My friend has a F250 with the 6.0 and some Banks exhaust and chip...when he flips it to power settings that thing is a monster...just a chip will double the HP and TQ from stock on those things...i've seen them running 13's at the track.

stock is the key word there, pull beside one that has a 6lb on it :boink:

Your forgetting something Sir! I have a little squeeze on my car!

What do L's with 6# lowers usually put down? ET wise?

ehhhh, its realy hard to say exactly man. Outside conditions play a big part in how the L's run, I have seen BONE STOCK ones do low 13's at OVER 100mph and then others do upper 13's ( this is the 03-04 model like mine/ fastest of the production years )

Normaly if a L owner has a 6lb pulley it will have a coldair kit, TB, and a upper intake too and mid 12's is pretty much the norm. Having the 6lb lower is a mod that needs to be accompied by a few other little things too have maximum effiency. There are a LOT of guys on nloc.net that has the squeeze on their L's ( 50 shot ) and they dip in the 11's. However you can get 11's without it if you have full boltons and a GREAT tune.

The ever popular 400/500 club is a CAI / pulley / exhaust / and tune away......pretty easy to get into.

I've noticed how outside conditions play on L's. Those bastards heat soak like hell it seems. A local guy here in town with a Harley truck made some sort of jumper wire for his fuse box to keep the thinga-ma-jigger on (cools down the heat exchanger).

I love Lightning's though. I remember when Dave first got his, when I sat in the seats it felt like they hugged me or something. So comfy! As far as mods go, I don't think he is gonna go too wild with it since he has a turbo fox. Maybe something like a 4# lower, tuner, exhaust/intake and call it quits.

 

[Lightning Struck]

heat soak on the Eaton is the down fall of the L's if you do the cooling kit upgrade your better off for sure but its still not = to the cooling advantages of a KB or Whipple swap. I'm doing a ported Eaton myself with a kit similar to the one that RPM outlet offers that has everything you need to upgrade the ENITRE cooling system. Should make for a cool situation 8)........... :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh: And more consistant performance

 

[Passenger]

What made you decide to do the ported Eaton over the KB/Whipple? Price?

yea at least for right now, the ported eaton is the road im going down. However in a year or so I may do a KB or whip swap :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: just have to see how happy I am with the low 12's that im looking to get out of it >. If I do go KB or whip I will have a built lower end for it, there is no point in having a blower that can make in excess of 600hp+ and a block that can only handle 450-475 before it goes south. Know what i mean ......

 

[Passenger]

Yep. Makes perfect sense.

By chance, is there a black turbo Lightning on NLOC from Arkansas? I think the guys name is Frank?

This guy ran at Pinks All Out here in Bristol a few weeks ago. F'n wicked truck. I'm about 95% sure I was told it had a Ford GT shortblock in it, haha.
